An experiment with gouache that honestly, did not go where I wanted, and did not come together before I just let go and tried to have fun. Sometimes we get so caught up in the idea instead of just enjoying what we are doing.

WIP Wednesday. Yes, I am going to do the Scandinavian Folklore series. What can I say, it’s too good XD. Most of these will skew Norwegian, because I am Norwegian. Or at least, mostly.
Polar bears do not show up that much in our tales. There are two, and this one is perhaps the most famous one. This is Kvitebjørn Kong Valemon. He is a human man cursed to be a polar bear, and his story is quite popular. In the begining of the tale, he plays with a Golden wreath, which a princess wants. He agrees to give it to her, if she marries him.
Still trying to figure out background colors, and how to depict the Golden wreath.
Started working on this just after writing 2034 words on my NaNo project. Wip of Dewshine!
I feel like we tend to forget that she is just as much of an archer as both Strongbow and Nightfall.
Also. Honestly, sandals make zero sense for forest dwelling people, especially hunters.
Here is something that I have been working on for a few days, when I haven’t been busy with moving out.
I also wanted to see how far I could take the new inktense pencils. Pretty darn far, it turns out! I especially loved doing the feathers, though it was really finicky. So was the shading on the parts of the body that wasn’t blue. I learned a lot by doing this image, and I am excited to keep testing this medium out.
Jester doodle before bedtime. Not too happy about certain elements, but c’est la vie.
A bird that I painted today. I have been focusing so much on portraits that I missed doing nature pictures.
Day 15 of 30 Faces/30 Days of watercolor and gouache @sktchy!
I really enjoyed painting this one. I eas delighted to learn that you can actually go from dark to light in watercolor. That is my approach with alcohol markers and acrylic paint, but was convinced it was impossible with watercolor. (Also, I now understand why everyone kept asking if I used watercolor when I used my promarkers.)
What a great lesson!
OCD really sucks. I hate when it divides things into categories and standards that are impossible to meet.
A somewhat personal piece as my own mental health took a dip this August.
